Happy Passover/Easter to all. Who do you want in round two? Pick a position that we do not select in round one.

A few guys I like:

Chase Winovich
Mack Wilson
DeAndre Baker
Julian Love
 
Assuming we don't take CB in Rd. 1 and we get our ILB that we so desperately need, you have to take Baker. He is a 1st rounder in most mocks and I doubt he would slide that far.
 
Butler
Savage
Juan Thornhill
Deebo Samuel
Chauncey Gardner-Johnson
Chase
N'Keal Harry
Love
Burns
Jace Sternberger
Jerry Tillery

Baker will probably be a round 1 pick, or early 2 at least.
Savage could move up.

Bush
Baker
Murphy
Butler
T.J. Hockenson
Clelin Ferrell -Would have to switch to a 4/3
Burns
Wouldn't lose it, if it was Savage either..
Chase could sneak into 1 as well.
Noah Fant - A late add. The talent is there.

This is a really deep draft. I have a good feeling about it. If KC/MT get it right, this draft could set go a long way in setting us up for a while

I don't see the value of David long before our 4th, too many other CBs with better traits that should be available still with our 3rd b

Late 3 is like a 4th. Which is where I would start to consider him, not the early third...

When I studied up on him I see he allowed only a 36.9 passer rating.

Also had an excellent combine performance, leading the 3-cone and short shuttles.

I mean I'd only consider him with our 4th, long might only become a Nickelback at the NFL and there will be other projects to groom who could become true outside CBs with our "late" 3rd

Most mocks have him as sure top 30 pick, doubt we will see him even at early 2nd

Oh I know just on the fence about him being our first.I like him don't get me wrong. Mocked him a few times. I know he just added some weight and I wonder how that will effect him. He was a productive fast power 5 player.


Probably being picky with him. As I had other wants.

I think Sanders is the #2 RB in the draft. I think he’s gone before our second round pick, let alone our third.

I could see him in the second. But players fall. And our first third is like a late 2.
 
I really like a CB in the 3rd round, I'm giving it thoughts back and forth and always come up with serious CB talent available at 3rd round:
Trayvon Mullen
Julian Love
Joejuan Williams
Sean Bunting
Isaiah Johnson

too much talent available there to invest a 1st or 2nd in CB, so I wait til the 3rd and get the best available.

This is my draft room plan:

1. We could address ILB/TE/OLB in the 1st,
2. then at 2nd whichever of these wasn't addressed plus WR and S, I'd discard TE assuming Fant / Hock are already gone and we didn't get them. (Positions considered: ILB/OLB/WR/S)
3.Finally in the 3rd round pick a CB + whichever position wasn't drafted. After this round we should have 4 out of 6 positions of need covered
4. In the 4th round the team with 2 needs vs 1 pick , so I'd invest most of our picks left to move up and have a 2nd 4th rounder and shore up our needs. Now we should have 6 picks invested in ILB/OLB/CB/WR/S/TE.
5. With the picks we have left invest on a DT/DE, RB.

I know RB is an interesting option but we have invested in 2 guys in previous drafts and both have been productive, Conner is a real 3 downs RB and Samuels seems like a perfect 3rd down option. We could get a bruiser in late rounds or even after other teams cuts, there will always be after the draft.

Same goes for DT/DE, we lack depth but the current starters are way more solid than in other positions:
- OLB: Dupree
- TE: McDonald
- S: there's not a backup S on the roster right now,
- ILB: Barron is not a long term solution though he can handle the spot for this season.
- WR: Washington still is a question mark
- CB: no depth behind and aging Haden and newcomer Nelson at outside CB.

add my plan to slash lists, with which I mostly concur and you can see how would I go in this draft

If Oliver goes inside the 10 is the only bet I have currently. I say he do won’t.

Mocks say yet boy Baker is a round two type of talent. I think he’s got a shot to be a late first round pick

What about your bet that Devin White will not be picked until #8 or later? You backing off on that one?
 
So what do you call it when Artie Burns & Brian Burns are on the field at the same time & we get gashed for 35 yards?

A double burn

Brian won't be a bust, unlike Artie. I see his floor as Dupree a ok starter but not a bust. I think he will prove to be a better player as he isn't as raw/green as Bud was coming out.
